We've seen our fair share of heinous crimes that involved a snap - someone had a life-altering moment and lost their mind, leading to the frenzied commission of a horrible crime. The case we're discussing today (in our opinions) is not that. Sydney Powell was a college student who was expelled when her grades dipped below probation standards. Instead of coming home with her tail between her legs, she lied to her parents and continued to live in/around the dorms and even attend classes. When it appeared that the "jig was up" because Sydney's mother, Brenda, got a phone call from Sydney's university, Sydney brutally murdered her mother with a frying pan.
